/*                 
 Comments will be stored in the Vorbis style.            
 It is describled in the "Structure" section of
    http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/doc/v-comment.html

The comment header is decoded as follows:
  1) [vendor_length] = read an unsigned integer of 32 bits
  2) [vendor_string] = read a UTF-8 vector as [vendor_length] octets
  3) [user_comment_list_length] = read an unsigned integer of 32 bits
  4) iterate [user_comment_list_length] times {
     5) [length] = read an unsigned integer of 32 bits
     6) this iteration's user comment = read a UTF-8 vector as [length] octets
     }
  7) [framing_bit] = read a single bit as boolean
  8) if ( [framing_bit]  unset or end of packet ) then ERROR
  9) done.
